X. OTHER REMEDIES I3N/A 

If there are remedies applied at the site, not covered above, attach an inspection sheet describing the 

physical nature and condition of any facility associated with the remedy. An example would be soil 

vapor extraction. 

XI. OVERALL OBSERVATIONS 

A. Implementation of the Remedy 

Describe issues and observations relating to whether the remedy is effective and functioning as designed. 

Begin with a brief statement of what the remedy is to accomplish (i.e., to contain contaminant plume, 

minimize infiltration and gas emission, etc.). 

The remedv is intended to monitor natural attenuation of a groundwater contaminated olume and to control 

human exoosure to contaminated solid media as well as groundwater. Human exoosure Dathwavs to 

contaminated solid media are being effectivelv controlled through the constructed cover svstem and 

imDlementation of ICs before, during, and after redeveloDment. Human exoosure to contaminated 

groundwater is also controlled through ICs. 

B. Adequacy of O&M 

Describe issues and observations related to the implementation and scope of O&M procedures. In particular, 

discuss their relationship to the current and long-term protectiveness of the remedy. 

O&M consists of imolementation of ICs. Midvale Citv has hired a dedicated individual to oversee IC 

imDlementation. The ICs require site develoDment entities hire aualified individuals to ensure comnliance 

with the ICs. The aoparent effective imDlementation of ICs results in current and long-term Drotectiveness. 

C. Early Indicators of Potential Remedy Problems 

Describe issues and observations such as unexpected changes in the cost or scope of O&M or a high 

frequency of unscheduled repairs that suggest that the protectiveness of the remedy may be compromised in 

the future. 

None noted 

D. Opportunities for Optimization 

Describe possible opportunities for optimization in monitoring tasks or the operation of the remedy. 

None noted
